PLAY THAT GOGO MUSIC
Written by Wild Cherry

Hey, I was guitar player
Playin' in a Go-Go band
With Little Benny & The Masters
We were burnin' down the one-night stands

When everything around me
Starts to get to feelin' so low
I'd get up and quickly
Grab my ax and head to our show

Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

Play that GoGo music right, boy
Play that GoGo music tight
Play that funky music right, boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that GoGo music 'til you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I that was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way
I said, I must go back there
And check to see if things still the same

When they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

Play that GoGo music right, boy
Play that GoGo music tight
Play that funky music right, boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that GoGo music 'til you die

At first it wasn't easy
Getting back these chops of mine
Yes, things were lookin' shaky
I thought that I had to leave it behind

Now with Kato & The AllyKats
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin'
Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

Play that GoGo music right, boy
Play that GoGo music tight
Play that funky music right, boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that GoGo music 'til you die

Alright now
Woooo Lawd

Say what, y'all?
Say what, now?
Alright now
Keep in the pocket where you know it's gonna be safe

Say what, y'all?
Right on, now?
Say what, now?
Keep in the pocket where you know it's gonna be safe

Say what, y'all?
Say what, now?
Well alright, y'all
Get on down now

Say what, y'all?
Say what, now?
Woooo Lawd
